Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Want You to Buy Their Brooklyn Dream House

Well, cool Brooklyn moms, you’re losing one more of your cohort. Emily Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski, are leaving the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, and are listing their immaculate brownstone for what Curbed reported last week as an $8 million price tag—$2 million more than they snagged it for in October 2016.

The home, which is listed with Corcoran, is described as “a French Renaissance Revival townhouse” built in 1909, featuring seven bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms in its four stories. The home is 5,200 square feet, and its main descriptors are words such as “artisan quality crown moldings and millwork.” Stained-glass windows and inlaid floors (which are also heated) decorate the main level and was recently renovated by Michael Ingui of Baxt Ingui Architects.

The home also has a guest suite on the garden level, and it seems safe to speculate that at least some A-list talent that might have stayed there. Seeing as Blunt’s sister Felicityis married to Stanley Tucci, an in-home Devil Wears Prada reunion could have been entirely possible in that guest suite.

Though the couple and their two young daughters might have been familiar faces around Park Slope, they were hardly Brooklyn residents for long. Shortly after they bought the home last October, Blunt and her family uprooted to London so she could begin the eight-month-long process of filming Mary Poppins. As Blunt told James Corden in a June interview, her oldest daughter, Hazel, has already adapted to repeating words in a British accent, much to her mother’s delight.

As posh as it might be, this new transatlantic lifestyle has the Blunt-Krasinski family on the road quite a bit and less able to enjoy a sprawling Brooklyn property with easy access to Prospect Park and the Grand Army Plaza farmers’ market.

“We’ve been nomads for a while now, but that’s the nature of the business,” Krasinski told the Wall Street Journal. “The house is so special—someone who can spend every night there should have it.”
